Billionaire Harsh Mariwala’s Take On Narayana Murthy’s 70-Hour Work Week Tip

Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy’s 70-hour work week comment has sparked a huge debate online. Mr Murthy made the remark on a podcast hosted by former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai. Now days after the controversial comment, Marico founder and chairman Harsh Mariwala has shared his views on Mr Murthy’s remark on X, formerly Twitter. 

In a lengthy post, the billionaire said that employers and employees should focus on the quality and passion put into work rather than the number of working hours. 

“Reflecting on the recent sentiments expressed by Mr Narayan Murthy regarding the youth working 70 hours a week, I feel compelled to share my perspective. Undeniably, hard work is the backbone of success, but it is not about the hours clocked in. It’s about the quality and passion one brings to those hours,” Mr Mariwala wrote on X.
